"We are committed to serving the communities where we operate," Southern Nuclear CEO Steve Kuczynski said in a prepared statement. "We have a work force that is dedicated to giving back, and I am proud of our contribution to improving the quality of life for our neighbors in our service regions."

Greater Birmingham Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, which provides new homes with no-interest loans to needy families. The families provide sweat-equity, helping to build their home.
